This Week in Niantic History, August 11th-15th, 2014

Good afternoon, Agents and Investigators. My name is Mustafa Said and welcome back to This Week in Niantic History.

So let’s begin with what was revealed on August 11th, 2013:

Stein Lightman, former Niantic Project Researcher, first released his scholarly interpretations of 23 Glyphs that had been seen in the wild and also were used by Agents in Operation #Minotaur. These interpretations came to be known as the Lightman Decipherments….

On August 12th, 2013, another document had been released:

It was a scientific analysis of the effects of Exotic Matter on the public, crafted by Dr. Martin Schubert. . Schubert had been a serious skeptic of XM at that time. Now, not so skeptic….Schubert had since been playing an active role in the suppression of Devra’s Portal Virus.

On August 13th, 2013, another document had been released:

It was from Omnivore and it was tracking the activities and movement of a series of Investigators and Sensitives who were on the move due to Operation #Cassandra …..

On August 14th, 2013, a statement from Klue was released:

She claimed that she wanted to help ‘shape a new world’ and that she also wanted to meet with an ‘old friend’….Richard Loeb counters her words with some of his own, regarding the document yesterday:

No, it’s not a coincidence. Klue may be making her way to Boston to research the Glyphs, but we all know Carrie’s insights are far more valuable, her potential… limitless. And the open secret both here in our Investigative Circle and outside in the broader world of Ingress is that we, the Resistance, and the underdog, fighting against an incumbent who have time and again proven their strategic and tactical superiority on the field. If we are going to even the playing field, we’re going to need every ounce of her brilliance to do so. I am going to Chicago to secure those ounces for the Resistance.

And finally, on August 15th, 2013, the twenty-first episode of the Ingress Report was released to the public:

In the episode, Susanna Moyer reports from a undisclosed location in Washington D.C as she remains a on-the-run target for mysterious forces….She reports on the Cassandra Anomalies.

#Cassandra continues…are you ready for the finale?
